Best air fryer deals in the Amazon Spring Sale 2025
Amazon's Spring Deal Days Sale is finally here and set to run until 31 March 2025. With thousands of new deals ready to shop, there's one nifty device we're planning on buying – a new air fryer. By rapidly circulating hot air to create a crispy finish, these clever appliances have become increasingly popular. So much so that Jamie Oliver recently wrote an air fryer cookbook dedicated to showcasing all the dishes you can cook in yours. The hype is hardly a surprise, with research showing that they cost as little as 17p per day to run, in comparison to the £1.05 cost of an electric oven. Many brands have cottoned on to the popularity of air fryers, and in 2025, the market is saturated with a variety of options. You'll find air fryers that are particularly great for cooking meat, baking cakes and even doubling up as steamers. Lucky for you, our expert shopping team have put many big brand models through rigorous tests, and lots of them are reduced in Amazon's Spring Sale. Here's a list of the deals we think you should snap up right now. Tower xpress pro combo 10-in-one digital air fryer oven with rotisserie: Was £139.99, now £94.03, Shutting the door and leaving an air fryer to cook meat may feel slightly risky for those who aren't familiar with the nifty appliances, but you'll be in safe hands with the Tower xpress pro combo 10-in-one. This air fryer can cook a 1kg rotisserie chicken in 40 minutes, with a drip tray underneath for easy cleaning. And it's not just meat that you can cook in this air fryer, with a range of additional tools included for easy cooking – including kebab skewers, a pizza plate and a wire rack. Right now, it can be yours with over 35 per cent off. We were impressed when we spotted this air fryer with 44 per cent off in the Amazon spring sale. Perfect for those with little counter space, this air fryer has 10 settings – for French fries, eggs, chicken, vegetables, baking, grilling, dehydrating and more. Air fryer tester, Lauren Cunningham, chose the Instant pot vortex dual air fryer as the best multi-action air fryer in her 2025 review. Unlike most air fryers, this has anti-odour tech that reduces food smells. Lauren found that the 'model was incredibly easy to use, made little to no noise and sucked away odours, so the whole house didn't smell like a fish and chip shop.' This is a great deal - there is 40 per cent off Amazon's discount. The biggest bargain of all, the Russell Hobbs satisfy air and grill multi-cooker has a huge 64 per cent discount right now thanks to Amazon, but we're not sure it'll be quite so cheap for too long. We placed this model as the best for grilling in our air fryer round-up, with its large flat bottom and pull-up lid – allowing it to work in a similar way to a barbecue. Ninja foodi max dual zone air fryer: Was £239.99, now £179.99, The Ninja Foodi dual-zone air fryer was our pick for the best dual zone air fryer in our review where it was praised by our expert, Lauren Cunningham, for its versatility. It can 'roast, air fry, bake, crisp, reheat and dehydrate all in one device, and you can set each drawer to do a different thing – very handy when cooking a whole meal.' Thanks to Amazon's Spring Sale, this appliance has an impressive £60 discount. We only had a few days warning that Amazon would be hosting its Spring Sale between 25 and 31 March, although we'd been predicting it would happen for a little while. The event started a few days later than it did last year when it ran from 20 to 25 March. We're constantly refreshing our guides to include the latest on what you can expect to shop in the sale, so you can count on us to bring any updates as soon as we hear them.

Best deals on home appliances in the Amazon Spring Sale
The Amazon Spring Sale has officially begun. Running until 31 March, the event could save you hundreds of pounds on some of our favourite buys across tech, beauty and more. But while they might not be as fancy as the other deals on offer, the best home appliance deals might be the best discounts around. From vacuum cleaners to coffee machines, home appliances tend to see some of the steepest discounts during annual sale events, and the Spring Sale is no exception. Umming and ahhing over an air fryer? Considering a new coffee machine? Thinking about replacing a rubbish microwave? Now's the time to buy. You may not see prices this low for months, so if you've been waiting for the moment to take the plunge, now's the time. Amazon stocks almost all of IndyBest's tried and tested home appliance brands, from Shark and Eufy to Morphy Richards and KitchenAid, but not every deal is worth buying. We've tested hundreds of these products, so we know exactly which products are worth buying - and which discounts are too good to be true. I recommend bookmarking this guide, or any of our dedicated Amazon Spring Sale guides for that matter, which we'll be updating until the sale comes to a close. Without further ado, let's dive into the deals to shop now. If you're in the market for a corded vacuum cleaner, this one from Shark is reduced by 33 per cent. It has a floorhead which is designed to move from carpets to hard floors, while its LED headlights will make dust and pet hair easier to see. The brand landed the top spot in our review of the best corded vacuums too, so you could do a lot worse than this model. Landing a spot in our review of the best air fryers, our tester noted how they were 'seriously impressed with how well, and how quickly, this model cooks such a wide variety of foods'. Owing to the brand using its dual-zone technology, 'it comes with two independent cooking zones that allow you to cook two different types of food, at different temperatures, at the same time'. From reheating to roasting, there are seven cooking modes for making a whole host of dishes. This air fryer 'gets the job done, plain and simple', according to our IndyBest reviewer Lauren Cunningham. The most intriguing feature is that it's able to neutralise cooking odours, preventing the whole house from smelling like chips. It's easy to use, too – Lauren found that the 'simple dial at the top was incredibly easy to use, and instead of selecting your food type, all you have to choose is the function, temperature and time, like a regular oven'. At Amazon, it's 40 per cent off. Taking the top spot in our review of the best slow cookers, this cooking appliance from Crock-Pot is reduced by 20 per cent, bringing the price down to less than £80. 'You can take the bowl out of this slow cooker and use it on the hob, which cuts down on washing up and faff', our tester noted. Its 'huge oval bowl has a generous capacity and was perfect for feeding a crowd', and there's a 'timer and keep-warm options', so you can 'leave it to cook away and get on with other jobs'. Our tech critic Steve Hogarty recommended this robot vacuum cleaner above all others in his review, and it has £200 off at Amazon. It's a 'really smart little vacuum that needs almost no human input to work', Steve said, noting its excellent mopping function and 'best-in-class object avoidance tech, which has been trained like a self-driving car, dodging more than 100 different objects, including cables, slippers and socks'. If you're looking for a deal on a kettle, we don't think you'll be disappointed with this model from Russel Hobbs, which took the top spot in our tried and tested review. 'It's incredibly easy to use', said our tester, and has 'one of the widest ranges of all the options'. But the best part is the tea-making design – there's a removable tea infuser basket which was 'perfect for loose-leaf teas', and 'has a three-minute steep function'. With this Amazon deal, it's nearly 30 per cent off. Dubbed the best heated clothes airer for families in our review, Black+Decker's three-tier heated airer 'can handle a full washing machine load of clothes and more', said our IndyBets tester, Zoe Griffin. 'The rails are spaced out more than on other rail-based airer models, which makes arranging clothes over it fast and simple', she explained, while the airer is lightweight, making it 'impressively portable'. Invest in the model with this deal and you'll secure a £45 saving. In her review of the best microwaves, IndyBest tester Rachael Penn dubbed this model the best for large families – and with this deal, you can save 33 per cent on the kitchen appliance. 'With a large 32l capacity, it's big enough to fit a whole chicken in, so you can cook almost anything in it', she said. One of the more affordable coffee machines we've tried, Bosch's my way 2 is now even cheaper. In her review, product tester Zoë Phillimore found that it 'has lots of features found on bigger ticket coffee machines.' It's fitted with a Brita water filter, which means less limescale in your coffee. It's great for families, too - it can be programmed to remember up to four drinks, so everyone's favourite coffee is ready to go at the touch of a button. This deal will save you cash on one of our favourite tried and tested hand blenders. Our tester Jessica found that Dualit's hand blender set has a 'lightweight and compact design', so it 'can fit in a drawer or cupboard fairly easily'. Jessica was 'impressed with its chopping power on onions using the chopper bowl attachment, finely cutting the onion without pulverising it into a paste.' While it isn't up to sturdier vegetables, it was good for 'making chunky dips or purees for weaning babies'. Dupray neat steam cleaner: Was £229.99, now £159.99, 'This may be our new favourite home appliance' – high praise from Zoe, whose tests found that this to be the best steam cleaner you can buy. 'It has a telescopic handle for carrying it around, and the cord wraps under the unit, so it's all neat and tidy', she said, while it also comes with two retractable handles for mopping and for cleaning high places. Zoe said it has 'five nozzle brushes, including one for cleaning brass, such as barbecue and oven racks – genius.' You can get £70 off right now. What is the Amazon Spring Sale? Amazon's Spring Deal Days sale has taken place in mid to late March for the last three years. Unlike Amazon's Prime Day, you don't need an Amazon Prime subscription to secure any of the offers. That being said, the free next-day delivery that comes with a Prime account may be handy throughout the event, especially as you can get a free 30-day trial. Just remember to cancel it when you no longer want it, as beyond the 30-day trial period it will cost £8.99 per month, or £95 per year. When is the Amazon Spring Sale in 2025? The Amazon Spring Sale started on 25 March and will run until 31 March. What were the best deals in last year's Amazon Spring Sale? Most of our favourite tried and tested brands slashed prices last year. If you were after a new vacuum cleaner, Shark's anti hairwrap upright vacuum cleaner (£140.56, was reduced to £149, down from £299.99. If you had a new microwave on your wishlist, you could have nabbed a Panasonic steam combination microwave (£389.99, with nearly £90 off. Meanwhile, keen bakers could have saved nearly £150 on the KitchenAid black classic stand mixer (was £499, now £429.75,

This Ninja air fryer ‘can do it all' – and it's £50 off for the Amazon Spring Sale
'Tis the season for hot cross buns, bunnies, and the Amazon Spring Sale. The retail giant is serving up deals on tech, beauty and more, but one of the best deals to catch my eye is this offer on Ninja's flexdrawer air fryer. Our expert reviewer said that this model can do it all, and right now, it's is discounted by £50. Unlike the retailer's flagship sale, Amazon Prime Day, you don't need to be a Prime member to secure the best discounts. It's a long sale, too - there will be discounts from now until 31 March. However, that doesn't mean that stock will last, so you may have to act fast to nab this air fryer. The team and I are on the hunt for any IndyBest recommended buys on sale, so I recommend bookmarking our Spring Sale shopping guides, where you'll find the top offers on tried and tested home appliances, Apple products and more, all picked by our team of shopping experts. We always have Ninja on our radar during annual sale events, so I was pleased to see the foodi flexdrawer fall from £269.99 to £219.99 ( It's not without reason this model earned a place in our review of the best air fryers, so to find out why it's a worthy kitchen investment, keep scrolling. 'If you want an air fryer that can do it all, this is it.' It's safe to say that our reviewer, Lauren Cunningham, was impressed with Ninja's foodi flexdrawer when she put it to the test. This innovative air fryer was one of the first of its kind onto the market. Unlike other two-drawer air fryers, which let you cook two meals in two different compartments, the foodi flexdrawer has a single large drawer that can divide into two. This means that you can use a single massive 10.4L drawer to air fry an entire chicken, but you can also split the drawers in half to roast vegetables in one drawer and salmon in the other. Ninja rather grandly calls this 'dual zone technology,' but it's incredibly useful. Lauren explained 'essentially means it comes with two independent cooking zones that allow you to cook two different types of food, at different temperatures, at the same time.' It means that you have the portion sizes of a large single-drawer air fryer as well as the versatility of a dual air fryer. It has seven cooking modes including rehydrating, baking and roasting, and cooked a variety of dishes quickly and well, including lamb kebabs, fresh cod and roast beef with all the trimmings – in fact, our tester dubbed this model the best of all those they tried for cooking a roast dinner. It's even a good choice for proving homemade bread dough. £50 off in the Amazon Spring Sale is a good deal. It's not the cheapest price we've ever seen for this air fryer - last Black Friday it dropped to £199 - but a £50 discount is always worth having, especially on such a great air fryer.
